An asbestos management survey is designed to locate and assess asbestos-containing materials that could be disturbed during normal occupation, maintenance or routine activity.

Management surveys are commonly required for:

• Commercial buildings

• Offices and retail premises

• Communal areas in blocks of flats

• Schools and public buildings

• Industrial units

• Warehouses

• Managed properties

• Rental portfolios

• Factories and workshops

• Energy-sector support buildings

• Buildings with a duty to manage asbestos

A management survey helps duty holders understand where asbestos may be present, what condition it is in and how it should be managed.

Our asbestos management surveys can include:

• Inspection of accessible areas

• Identification of suspect asbestos-containing materials

• Sampling where required

• Material risk assessments

• Photographic records

• Asbestos register information

• Practical recommendations

• Advice for asbestos management plans

For more information on this survey type, visit our Management Asbestos Survey page.

Asbestos Refurbishment Survey Aberdeen

An asbestos refurbishment survey is required before refurbishment, upgrade, repair or intrusive works where asbestos-containing materials may be disturbed.

This type of survey is more intrusive than a management survey and is designed to inspect the specific areas affected by the planned works.

Refurbishment surveys are commonly needed before:

• Domestic renovations

• Kitchen and bathroom upgrades

• Office refurbishments

• Shop fit-outs

• Ceiling removals

• Flooring works

• Service riser works

• Heating and pipework upgrades

• Electrical and mechanical works

• Structural alterations

• Industrial maintenance works

• Building fabric repairs

A refurbishment asbestos survey helps identify asbestos before contractors start work, reducing the risk of accidental disturbance, project delays and legal issues.

If you are planning intrusive work in Aberdeen or Aberdeenshire, contact our team before works begin.

For more detail, visit our Refurbishment Asbestos Survey page.

Asbestos Demolition Survey Aberdeen

An asbestos demolition survey is required before full or partial demolition of a building where asbestos may be present.

This is the most intrusive type of asbestos survey and is intended to identify asbestos-containing materials throughout the structure before demolition takes place.

Demolition asbestos surveys may be needed for:

• Full building demolition

• Partial demolition

• Soft strip projects

• Structural alterations

• Site redevelopment

• Industrial building clearance

• Fire-damaged or vacant properties

• Pre-demolition planning

• Commercial redevelopment projects

The purpose of the survey is to ensure asbestos is located and removed safely before demolition works proceed.

Our Scottish teams can support contractors, developers, property owners and project managers with asbestos demolition survey requirements across Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire and wider Scotland.

For more information, visit our Demolition Asbestos Survey page.

Asbestos Re-Inspection Survey Aberdeen

Where asbestos-containing materials have already been identified, they must be monitored and managed.

An asbestos re-inspection survey checks the condition of known asbestos-containing materials and helps keep asbestos records up to date.

Re-inspections are commonly used for:

• Commercial properties

• Schools and public buildings

• Managed residential blocks

• Industrial premises

• Offices and retail units

• Landlord property portfolios

• Existing asbestos registers

• Asbestos management plans

A re-inspection can help confirm whether asbestos materials remain in a safe condition or whether further action is needed.

For more information, visit our Asbestos Re-Inspection Survey page.

Asbestos Sampling Aberdeen

If you have found a specific suspect material, asbestos sampling may be suitable where a full asbestos survey is not required.

Our team can safely collect samples from suspected asbestos-containing materials and arrange laboratory analysis to confirm whether asbestos is present.

Common materials sampled include:

• Textured coatings

• Floor tiles

• Adhesives and bitumen products

• Cement roof sheets

• Garage roofs

• Soffit boards

• Insulation board

• Pipe insulation

• Panels and boards

• Gaskets and rope seals

• Suspect debris or residues

For national sample testing information, visit our Asbestos Sampling page.

• Survey scope and limitations

• Areas inspected

• Sample results where taken

• Photographs of identified materials
